UrbanMinistry.org
If you're interested in any of the following subjects - urban ministry, youth ministry, education, community development, or technology - check out UrbanMinistry.org. UrbanMinistry.org is a new initiative of TechMission, the organization for which I work.
TechMission's core values are Jesus, justice, and technology. To serve these values, TechMission strives to use technology to bridge the "digital divide" and aid underresourced communities.
Via UrbanMinistry.org, TechMission is creating a space where workers in urban ministry, youth ministry, and Christian community development can become acquainted, share resources (such as community-worker blogs, sermons, lectures, trainings, grant templates, program materials, etc.) and best practices, and raise awareness of critical issues in the areas of politics, ministry, and social justice. From UrbanMinistry.org, one can also access the sites of two other TechMission initiatives - SafeFamilies.org, TechMission's Internet safety and pornography-addiction recovery program (featuring free We-Blocker technology), and ChristianVolunteering.org, the largest Christian volunteer-match site on the Web.
Users of UrbanMinistry.org can list their interests and skills on their user profile page, as well as provide resume information. If they wish, this information can then be used to connect them with relevant volunteer opportunities.
In my role as an online publications editor/community developer intern at TechMission, I will be writing a blog on the UrbanMinistry.org site, primarily on topics related to Christian theology, politics, and ministry. If possible, I plan to link these posts to my main blog via an RSS feed in the right column, so they will be accessible from this site, but hosted on UrbanMinistry.org.

Great to find your blog. And we totally support TechMission efforts of faith! [Greatly enjoyed working with all your staff at CCDA Indy 2005 -- say hello to everyone for me.]
Hey we've got a neat 'virtual' project about to happen here in Indy at our TechMission affiliate... visit UBcafe.com and see the 7/24/2007 Urban Projects Day as a part of the citywide "Faith Hope & Love" initiative.
All your readers can help, even! Check out the wiki mentioned at the above link.
